### Frequently asked questions

- **What is Whisper?** Whisper is a peaceful, anonymous chatroom. No account or email is required. You simply join, get a unique permanent name, and start talking. It's designed for quiet, uninterrupted conversation.[reference:5]
- **Do I need an account?** No. Whisper requires no registration, email, or personal information. You are assigned a random, unique name and avatar when you first visit. Your identity is saved locally on your device, so you keep the same name next time.[reference:6]
- **Is it truly anonymous?** Whisper does not collect any personally identifiable information. We don’t ask for names, emails, or phone numbers. Your messages are tied only to a random user ID stored in your browser.[reference:7]
- **How long are messages stored?** The server keeps only the 500 most recent messages in memory. Once new messages arrive, older ones are permanently deleted. There is no long‑term message archive.[reference:8]
- **Can I share files?** Yes. You can upload and share files up to 10MB in size. Files are temporarily stored and automatically removed after a short period.[reference:9]
- **Can I get notifications?** Whisper supports optional push notifications. When you allow notifications, your browser will alert you about new messages even if the tab isn’t focused.[reference:10]
- **Can I use Whisper offline?** Whisper is a Progressive Web App (PWA). When you install it on your device, it can launch as a standalone app. However, real‑time chat requires an internet connection.[reference:11]
- **Is there moderation?** Yes. The room administrator can delete messages and send announcements. The goal is to maintain a peaceful environment.[reference:12]
